The Bergel Institute — Mission

Dedicated to the advancement of human knowledge and the human condition.

The common theme in all of the Institute's work is the relentless pursuit of what is possible. We are committed to critical thinking and to questioning accepted norms and approaches relative the foundational issues of humanity.

In every discipline, we question assumptions and test them against evidence.

We work across economics, technology, health, science, consciousness, and culture to examine the forces shaping human life. We bring rigorous, interdisciplinary inquiry to questions that are often treated in isolation, seeking deeper understanding of how we live and relate to one another.
